Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter, Stephanie, was arrested for drug possession Wednesday morning after she is believed to have suffered an overdose on heroin.
Stephanie Rose Bongiovi is a student at Hamilton College in upstate New York.
Police say they and a volunteer ambulance squad were called to the dorm where Bongiovi lived, at just before 2 a.m., to assist a woman who had possibly overdosed on heroin and was not responsive.
A small amount of heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found on the scene, leading to the arrest of another student, Ian S. Grant, while the rocker's daughter was rushed to a nearby hospital.
She's been charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, and is expected to be released from the hospital later in the day.
"The college is cooperating with the police investigation," a Hamilton spokesperson said.
Jon Bon Jovi is known as a devoted family man. Stephanie is the oldest of his four children with wife Dorothea Hurley.
